SCREAM!

Don’t worry I’m not going to turn this blog into an obsessive twilight fan page but I do feel like I had to mark the opening of NEW MOON with a few pictures…AAAAHHHHHH!!

I CAN’T WAIT to see this guy…

…betray this girl

…who then befriends this guy who is in love with her and totally gutted when…

…She fights for the love of the guy who abandoned her…. ohhhhhh juicy!

Can’t wait, but I think I will wait so that I don’t get crushed in the cinema by crazy teenage twihards!

AAHHHHHHHH!

“Jewellery takes people’s minds off your wrinkles.” Sonja Henie

I have always loved chunky jewellery and lately there has been an abundance of it on the catwalks, shops and online, so here are a few of my favorites as well as a few delicate pieces.

Clockwise from top left: Marni AW09, Jason Wu AW09, Donna Karan AW09, Elie Saab AW09, Lanvin AW09, Christian Lacroix AW09

Nina Bukvic

Dominic Jones’s seriously amazing AW09 collection. The 2 thorn knuckleduster would look simply divine on my hand! I think Dominic should accessories the ladies in the next installment of the Twilight series or Alice Dellal, Lizzy Jagger, Eliza Cummings and Emma Chitty should just take their place, they’d make incredible vampires. His collection was photographed by Matt Irwin.

Nina Bukvic saw her jewellery exhibited at the Dazzle during the Edinburgh Festival the earring were stunning, I don’t think they would ever leave my ears if I had the privilege of owning a pair.

Louis Vuitton

Both available at DANNIJO

Antonella Giomarelli another favorite who I saw at Dazzle 2 years ago

Unfortunately I saved this to my computer a few years ago without taking note of who it’s by.

Ohhh, it’s all one big long wish list! I’d better watch Derren Brown’s show tonight to see if he lets on how to predict the lottery numbers.

Nouvelle Nouvelle

On my trip to Vancouver in Febuary I stumbled across a really sweet shop Nouvelle Nouvelle in Gas Town, by far my favorite district in Vancouver. The shop had a good mix of clothing, accessories and art work each laid out in an understated way. The atmosphere was casual, relaxed and creative and the woman behind the desk was browsing her computer with a lovable dog by her side. The bulldog, Lily, was very sweet wearing a funny wee knitted jumper, and in regards to my earlier post about dog clothing, Lily looked so very comfy in her trendy knit!

(if anything go check out the bulldog Lily!!)

American labels Dolce Vita, Quail, Yokoo, Vancouver designer Genevieve Graham and Swedish clothing group Perminant Vacation are all labels that the store carries. I loved finding new labels that aren’t in the shops over here and particularly liked Quail and Yokoo, the latter based in Atlanta has an Etsy page displaying her cool chunky knit designs.

Yokoo, sweet chunky scarf

Cute Permanent Vacation dress (for any of you Twilight fans out there, i reckon the model could totally be a Vampire!Victoria’s little sister maybe! Bit me, RAAHHH)

Quail, I tried on the blue dress, it was gourgeous…….ahhhh

Vancouver based Genevieve Graham

From the creative director behind Insight clothing Natalie Wood has created Something Else. (Sweet tattoos)

So if you are going to Vancouver get over to Gas Town pronto… I ended up visiting this shop a couple of times on my visit and will definetly be back. Recently I recieved a lovely necklace from my brother in the post which he bought at Nouvelle Nouvelle, what a nice surprise, so thankyou again for it! Their blog based website always a pleasure to browse so have a peek, also, I was assured by the owner that they ship overseas. Yipee!

So pleased I found this wee gem of a shop!
